M. I. A. Is a military term for missing in action. It is not actually saying that they are actually lost at war, but instead they have found themselves lost in the chaos of the events around them. They feel ovewhelmed in the task that had been given to them and are lost in their mind. They wish they could go home but can't until their term is ended, so they do whatever they can to stay alive. This song is dedicated to their multiple freinds who are were serving in the war in Iraq at the time.

This song is telling a story of a dying man. He is very ill and will die due to his alement, thus the words, "I lost my final fight to diease, I feel that this is where it ends." A brompton Cocktail is a term for a drug given to a dying person to relieve them of pain for their final hours. The lyrics say, "I need that shot to enter my veins, my brompton cocktail blend." This makes me believe that the nararator is taking an injected drug such as opium (cocaine). Later in the song it says, "I'm tired." This is showing that the drug is a deppressent rather than a stimulant. Thus it could be reffering to a narcottic like opium. In that verse it says, "induced euphoria, to help me move along." euphoria is a state of happiness. This shows that the speaker is taking the drug so they can feel happy because their illness is overwhelming. Throughout the rest of the song the same meanings are shown.

This song iss telling the story of our world in a biblical perspective. Avenged sevenfold is not a christian band but sometimes uses the bible as insperation for their music. The song is talking about how the world is a sin filled place filled of us humans who are represented by the demons. In the chorus it says, "She's a dwelling place for demons." This is talking about the world being a imperfect society.

This song was written on influences of other songs. I believe that this song is about addictions. Throughout the songs it has certain lines that symbolize drugs. "Caught here in a fiery blaze...The heat stroke ridden weather...Can't you help me as I"m starting to burn, " are all showing heat. Certain drugs such as alchohol and cocaine make you feel warmer while using them. "Won't lose my will to stay, " is saying that he won't end the high. "Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction, " simply says that he is getting addicted for having too much of the drug. "No one can save me, " means that he is already addicted and cannot get away from it. "Now take a trip with me, but don't be suprise when things aren't what they seem, " is saying to get high with the narrator but you will hallucinate so things may appear different. There are also other lyrics that have the same meanings. The song is dedicated to Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) who was quoted saying,"He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man".

This is a very simple song to understand. It was origionaly called great bear because matt Sanders (M. Shadows) wrote the begginings of it while he was at a hotel called the great Bear. It is about a guy who proposess to his girlfriend. She denies him and he kills her. He then rapes her dead body and she eventually comes back to life. She kills him and he apollogises in hell. They both rise from the dead and get married. They then run about killing people.

The meaning of this song is that people mess up sometimes and sometimes its easy to forgive them but sometimes its hard.

The true meaning of this song was stated on the making of afterlife video that a7x posted. The reverend tholomew plague wrote this song on his own.
